Visitor management system for schools, colleges & MAT’s.
Custr Check-In is a leading visitor management system for schools, colleges and MAT’s, replacing traditional paper books with visitor, staff, late pupil and contractor check-in using one secure system.
How do you currently manage check-ins at your school?
THE TRADITIONAL WAY
Many schools still rely on visitor books, spreadsheets or legacy systems to record who is on site. These traditional processes make it harder to manage accurate records, safeguard on site pupils and respond confidently in an emergency when it matters most.

Custr Check-In FAQ for education.
-
Martyn's Law comes into force in April 2027 and requires schools to have documented procedures for protecting people during a major incident.
Custr gives school teams a real-time register of everyone on site, instant digital evacuation tools accessible from any smartphone and a complete audit trail of every check-in, giving you the foundations to meet that requirement with confidence. -
Yes, through Custr's Express Check-In feature. School office teams can send invited or pre-approved visitors a secure link by email before their visit. The visitor completes questions, signs documents and fulfils safeguarding requirements in advance so when they arrive at reception, check-in takes seconds. Ideal for supply staff, governors, contractors and parents attending planned events.
-
When an evacuation is triggered, Custr generates a live list of everyone currently signed in including visitors, staff and pupils. Fire marshals access this from their own smartphone via the companion app, mark people as safe in real time and instantly see who is still unaccounted for. A detailed PDF report covering the full evacuation is automatically generated afterwards for Ofsted and health and safety records.
-
Yes. Schools manage a wide range of visitors including parents, governors, contractors and supply teachers, each with different requirements. Custr allows your office team to build a separate check-in flow for each category with its own questions, document signing and safeguarding checks, ensuring the right process is applied every time without your reception team having to manage it manually.
-
Yes. Custr records late arrivals and early leavers, with the reason automatically written back to your MIS. Before and after school activity and sixth form attendance stay within Custr and are managed separately.
-
Yes, staff can mark themselves as offsite while remaining visible on evacuation and safeguarding records, so they're still accounted for even when away from the main building.
-
Yes. Every Custr product comes with a 14 day free trial before you commit to anything. You'll need your own compatible tablet to get started, and if you decide to continue, you keep the same account, so the transition is completely seamless.
